SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 317,451, dated May 5,1885.

T0 at whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MAMIE F. FREY, of Indianapolis, Marion county,Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Button-Hook Holder for Shoes,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved attachmentfor shoes, for the purpose of holding the button hook on the shoe.

The invention consists in the combination, with a shoe, of a band on theleg portion of the shoe, an incision, through which the buttonhook canbe passed, being provided in the leather below the said band, all ashereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side view of a shoe provided with my improved button-hookholder. Fig. 2 shows a modification of the same.

A band, A, is sewed or otherwise secured on the outer side of the legpart of the shoe B, and behind the ankle and below the band a smallincision, O, is made. The button-hook D is passed under the band andthrough the incision, the button-hook passing bet ween the leather andlining, and the eye or ring E of the hook being between the band andleather.

The band A may be made of leather or of elastic material.

In place of securing the band on the shoe, the band may be formed bymaking two cuts, a, in the leather, as shown in Fig. 2.

The button-hook is held securely, is always at hand, cannot be lost, anddoes not interfere with walking, jumping, dancing, &c.

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters-Patent-- A shoe provided with a band on the outer surface ofthe leg portion, and having an incision below the band, substantiallyasherein shown and described.
